Professional wrestling career
[edit]Ice Ribbon (2006–2012)
[edit]In 2006, when Riho was only nine years old and still in elementary school, she and her older sister Seina began training professional wrestling under Emi Sakura at her Ice Ribbon dojo.[4] She made her debut in an exhibition match against Nanae Takahashi on May 29, 2006, in Shinagawa, Tokyo.[3][4] On July 25, Riho made her debut for Ice Ribbon at the promotion's third-ever event, defeating Makoto.[9] Riho's first year in professional wrestling consisted mainly of matches with Emi Sakura, Hikari Minami, and Seina.[10][11] In March 2008, Riho and Seina faced each other in a four-match series, which Riho won 3–1.[12][13][14][15]
On October 24, 2008, Riho won her first professional wrestling championship, when she teamed with Yuki Sato to defeat Chounko and Masako Takanashi for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.[16] On December 23, Riho was entered into a tournament to determine the inaugural ICE×60 Champion but was eliminated in the semifinals by Seina, who would go on to become the champion.[17] After successfully defending the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship against Emi Sakura and Ribbon Takanashi, Riho and Sato vacated the title, after Riho fractured her right leg on March 31, 2009.[18] For most of 2009, Riho was involved in a storyline rivalry with Chii Tomiya, which eventually led to the two forming the tag team Miniature Dachs in November.[19][20][21][22] On November 28, 2009, Riho defeated Nanae Takahashi and Tsukasa Fujimoto to become the inaugural Triangle Ribbon Champion.[23] After one successful title defense, Riho lost the title to Miyako Matsumoto on March 22, 2010.[24][25] However, just twelve days later, Riho came back to defeat Matsumoto for the ICE×60 Championship, the promotion's top title.[26] In the process, Riho also became Ice Ribbon's first Triple Crown Champion.[4] During the post-match celebration, Riho nominated her trainer Emi Sakura as her first challenger for the belt.[27] On May 3 at Golden Ribbon, Riho became the youngest person to ever main event a show in Korakuen Hall,[4] when she lost the ICE×60 Championship to Sakura in her first defense, ending her title reign at just 30 days.[28]
In January 2011, Riho came together with Ice Ribbon's younger wrestlers, including former associates Chii Tomiya and Hikari Minami, to form the Heisei YTR (Young Traditional Revolution) stable, under the leadership of Makoto.[29] On February 6, Riho and Makoto made it to the finals of the Ike! Ike! Ima, Ike! Ribbon Tag Tournament, before being defeated by Muscle Venus (Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto) in a match that was also contested for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.[30] On March 31, Riho made her debut for Smash at Smash.15, where she teamed with Hikari Minami and Tsukushi to defeat Emi Sakura, Makoto and Mochi Miyagi in a six-woman tag team match, scoring the deciding pinfall over Miyagi.[31] The following month, Riho and Minami began producing their own events under the banner of "Teens", which would focus on spotlighting Ice Ribbon's younger wrestlers.[32] In August, the alliance between Riho and Makoto was broken, when Makoto announced that she would be leaving Ice Ribbon for Smash.[33][34] On August 11, Riho interrupted a Smash press conference, where the transfer was made official, by attacking Smash promoter Tajiri and challenging him to a match.[35][36] The match took place on August 21, during Makoto's final night in Ice Ribbon, and saw Tajiri pick up the win.[37][38] On December 25 at RibbonMania 2011, Seina returned to Ice Ribbon, after a two-year hiatus, to wrestle her retirement match against her Riho. Riho won the match in eight minutes and afterwards refereed a three-minute match, where Seina was defeated by her longtime friend Hikari Minami.[39][40]
In early 2012, Riho began teaming regularly with Hikari Minami, after the latter brought back the Teens concept, producing Teens4 on March 3.[41][42][43] On April 15 at Teens5, Riho won a tournament to earn the right to book herself a match for Teens6.[44] On May 24, Riho made her debut for Wrestling New Classic (WNC), the follow-up promotion to Smash, when she replaced an injured Mio Shirai in a tag team match, where she and Makoto were defeated by Kana and Syuri.[45][46] On June 16 at Teens6, Riho was defeated by World Wonder Ring Stardom representative Nanae Takahashi in the match she was allowed to choose herself.[47][48][49] On September 1, Riho announced that she was quitting Ice Ribbon after the September 23 Korakuen Hall event to reunite with Emi Sakura, who had left the promotion in the beginning of the year.[50][51] On September 17, Riho wrestled her final match at the Ice Ribbon Dojo in Saitama, teaming with her hand-picked partner Tsukasa Fujimoto in a tag team match, where they defeated Hiroyo Matsumoto and Hamuko Hoshi, with Riho pinning Hoshi for the win.[52][53] On September 23 at Ribbon no Kishitachi 2012, Riho was defeated by Aoi Kizuki in her Ice Ribbon farewell match.[54][55][56]
